Description
本発明は、表示装置の製造方法に関し、特に、表示パネルに接着剤を介して透明基板(保護カバー)を貼り付けた表示装置の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a display device, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a display device in which a transparent substrate (protective cover) is attached to a display panel via an adhesive.
液晶表示装置などの表示装置は、小型の携帯電話用から大型のTV用まで、様々な大きさの表示装置として採用されている。 Display devices such as liquid crystal display devices are employed as display devices of various sizes from small mobile phones to large TVs.
図11は、従来の液晶表示装置を説明する断面図である。図11では、例えば液晶表示パネルなどの表示パネルPNLを、携帯電話などの筐体CASに組み込んだ状態を示している。液晶表示パネルの場合、表示パネルPNLは、例えば、基板SUB1と、基板SUB2と、基板SUB1と基板SUB2とを貼り合わせるシール材SLと、基板SUB1と基板SUB2とシール材SLとで囲まれる内部に封入された液晶SLと、基板SUB1の液晶LCと反対側に配置された偏光板POL1と、基板SUB2の液晶LCと反対側に配置されたPOL2とを有している。 FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a conventional liquid crystal display device. FIG. 11 shows a state in which a display panel PNL such as a liquid crystal display panel is incorporated in a casing CAS such as a mobile phone. In the case of a liquid crystal display panel, for example, the display panel PNL is surrounded by a substrate SUB1, a substrate SUB2, a sealing material SL that bonds the substrates SUB1 and SUB2, and a substrate SUB1, the substrate SUB2, and the sealing material SL. The liquid crystal SL is sealed, the polarizing plate POL1 is disposed on the opposite side of the substrate SUB1 from the liquid crystal LC, and the POL2 is disposed on the opposite side of the substrate SUB2 from the liquid crystal LC.
表示パネルPNLは、筐体CASに設けられた開口部と重なるように配置される。筐体CASの開口部には、例えばガラスやアクリル(PMMA)などの透明基板(保護カバー)COVが両面テープTAPなどで貼り付けられている。そして、図11に示した液晶表示装置の場合、表示パネルPNLと透明基板COVとの間に、空気層が介在する空間SPが存在していた。 The display panel PNL is disposed so as to overlap an opening provided in the housing CAS. A transparent substrate (protective cover) COV such as glass or acrylic (PMMA) is attached to the opening of the housing CAS with a double-sided tape TAP or the like. In the case of the liquid crystal display device shown in FIG. 11, there is a space SP in which an air layer is interposed between the display panel PNL and the transparent substrate COV.
図11に示したもの以外では、例えば、特許文献1のように、紫外線硬化型または熱硬化型の接着剤を介して、液晶表示パネルに補強基板などの透明基板を貼り付けるものがある。その際、特許文献1では、気泡の残留を抑制するために、粘度が10,000〜100,000cP(1cP=1mPa・s)の高粘度接着剤を外周に形成し、その内側に粘度が100〜1,000cPの低粘度接着剤を塗布し、真空下(減圧下)で貼り合わせることにより、直径1mm程度の小さな気泡を巻き込んだとしても大気圧に戻すことで気泡を消滅させることができることが記載されている。そして、気泡を巻き込みにくい粘度として、100〜1,000cPが記載されている。 Other than the one shown in FIG. 11, for example, as in Patent Document 1, there is one in which a transparent substrate such as a reinforcing substrate is attached to a liquid crystal display panel via an ultraviolet curable or thermosetting adhesive. At that time, in Patent Document 1, a high-viscosity adhesive having a viscosity of 10,000 to 100,000 cP (1 cP = 1 mPa · s) is formed on the outer periphery in order to suppress residual bubbles, and the viscosity is 100 on the inner side. By applying a low viscosity adhesive of ˜1,000 cP and bonding them under vacuum (under reduced pressure), even if small bubbles with a diameter of about 1 mm are involved, the bubbles can be extinguished by returning to atmospheric pressure. Are listed. And 100-1,000 cP is described as a viscosity which is hard to involve a bubble.
他に、気泡の残留を抑制する技術に関しては、例えば特許文献2、特許文献3がある。特許文献2では、熱硬化型の接着剤と気泡をパターン状に配置し、硬化しない第1加熱温度にするとともに減圧(真空)にすることで気泡を溶解し、その後、圧力を加えるとともに第2加熱温度で硬化することが記載されている。このとき、接着剤をドットや交差ストライプ(格子状)にすること、塗布された時の粘度が1000cp以上であり、第1加熱温度で加熱した際の粘度が100cp以下であることが記載されている。
In addition, there are, for example, Patent Document 2 and
また、特許文献3では、気泡の残留がないように真空貼り合わせを行う際に、紫外線硬化型の仮固定用接着をコーナーに配置し、熱硬化型の封止用接着樹脂を線状または点状にすることが記載されている。
Further, in
しかしながら、図11に示す構造の場合、空間SPの部分に空気層が介在するため、空気層と透明基板COVなどとの間の屈折率の違いにより発生する表面反射により、視認性が低下する場合がある。 However, in the case of the structure shown in FIG. 11, since an air layer is interposed in the space SP, visibility is reduced due to surface reflection caused by a difference in refractive index between the air layer and the transparent substrate COV or the like. There is.
また、特許文献1に記載された技術の場合は、低粘度接着剤の粘度が低いため、外周に高粘度接着剤を設ける必要がある。したがって、塗布工程が複雑になる。さらに、低粘度接着剤の高さを高精度で制御しないと高粘度接着剤との間に段差ができ、かえって大きな気泡が発生する可能性がある。 In the case of the technique described in Patent Document 1, since the viscosity of the low-viscosity adhesive is low, it is necessary to provide a high-viscosity adhesive on the outer periphery. Therefore, the coating process becomes complicated. Furthermore, if the height of the low-viscosity adhesive is not controlled with high accuracy, a step may be formed between the low-viscosity adhesive and large bubbles may be generated.
また、特許文献2に記載された技術の場合は、熱硬化型の接着剤を硬化しない第1加熱温度にして粘度を下げた時に、貼り合わせている基板同士がずれる可能性がある。さらに、第2加熱温度に上げたときに、表示パネルの耐熱温度を超える場合がある。 Further, in the case of the technique described in Patent Document 2, when the viscosity is lowered to the first heating temperature at which the thermosetting adhesive is not cured, there is a possibility that the substrates to be bonded are displaced. Furthermore, when the temperature is raised to the second heating temperature, the heat resistance temperature of the display panel may be exceeded.
また、特許文献3に記載された技術の場合は、熱硬化型の封止用接着樹脂を線状または点状にするときの大きさや粘度について記載されておらず、隣り合う封止用接着樹脂の間が大きく離れている場合は、大きな気泡を巻き込む可能性がある。また、熱硬化型であるため、表示パネルの耐熱温度を超える場合がある。
Further, in the case of the technique described in
尚、上記した課題以外のその他の課題は、本願明細書全体の記載または図面から明らかにされる。 In addition, other problems other than the above-described problems will be made clear from the entire description of the present specification or the drawings.
本発明の液晶表示装置の製造方法では、接着剤を介して減圧雰囲気下で表示パネルと透明基板を貼り合わせる際に、接着剤の粘度、塗布パターン、貼り合わせ時の気泡の大きさ、硬化方法などのうちの1つ以上を工夫することで、気泡の残留を抑制する。 In the method for producing a liquid crystal display device of the present invention, when the display panel and the transparent substrate are bonded together under a reduced pressure atmosphere via the adhesive, the viscosity of the adhesive, the coating pattern, the size of the bubbles at the time of bonding, the curing method By devising one or more of the above, residual bubbles are suppressed.

本発明の実施例を、図面を参照しながら説明する。尚、各図および各実施例において、同一又は類似の構成要素には同じ符号を付し、説明を省略する。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing and each embodiment, the same or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.
図1は、本発明の実施例1の表示装置の一例を説明する断面図である。実施例1では、表示パネルPNLに液晶表示装置を用いた場合を例にして説明する。図1でも、例えば液晶表示パネルなどの表示パネルPNLを、携帯電話などの筐体CASに組み込んだ状態を示している。表示パネルPNLは、例えばガラスなどの透光性の絶縁基板である基板SUB1と、例えばガラスなどの透光性の絶縁基板である基板SUB2と、基板SUB1と基板SUB2とを貼り合わせるシール材SLと、基板SUB1と基板SUB2とシール材SLとで囲まれる内部に封入された液晶SLと、基板SUB1の液晶LCと反対側に配置された偏光板POL1と、基板SUB2の液晶LCと反対側に配置されたPOL2とを有している。また、図示しないが、基板SUB1の液晶LC側には、マトリクス状に薄膜トランジスタや画素電極などが形成されており、TFT基板と呼ばれる場合もある。図示しないが、基板SUB2の液晶LC側には、カラーフィルタや対向電極などが形成されており、対向基板と呼ばれる場合もある。また、基板SUB1と偏光板POL1との間、および、基板SUB2と偏光板POL2との間のうちの少なくとも一方に、位相差板などを配置しても良い。尚、本発明は表示パネルPNLの構成にはあまり限定されないものであるため、ここで説明した構成以外の構成であっても良い。 FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a display device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the first embodiment, a case where a liquid crystal display device is used for the display panel PNL will be described as an example. FIG. 1 also shows a state in which a display panel PNL such as a liquid crystal display panel is incorporated in a casing CAS such as a mobile phone. The display panel PNL includes, for example, a substrate SUB1 that is a light-transmitting insulating substrate such as glass, a substrate SUB2 that is a light-transmitting insulating substrate such as glass, and a sealing material SL that bonds the substrate SUB1 and the substrate SUB2. The liquid crystal SL enclosed inside the substrate SUB1, the substrate SUB2, and the sealing material SL, the polarizing plate POL1 disposed on the opposite side of the liquid crystal LC of the substrate SUB1, and the liquid crystal LC of the substrate SUB2 are disposed on the opposite side. POL2. Although not shown, thin film transistors and pixel electrodes are formed in a matrix on the liquid crystal LC side of the substrate SUB1 and may be called a TFT substrate. Although not shown, a color filter, a counter electrode, and the like are formed on the liquid crystal LC side of the substrate SUB2 and may be called a counter substrate. In addition, a retardation plate or the like may be disposed between at least one of the substrate SUB1 and the polarizing plate POL1 and between the substrate SUB2 and the polarizing plate POL2. The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the display panel PNL, and may have a configuration other than the configuration described here.
そして、表示パネルPNLには、例えばガラスやアクリル(PMMA)などの透明基板(保護カバー)COVが接着剤ADを介して貼り付けられている。図1では、偏光板POL2に透明基板COVを貼り付けた例を示しているが、これに限定されるものではない。そして、透明基板COVが貼り付けられた表示パネルPNLは、筐体CASに設けられた開口部と重なるように配置される。図1では、筐体CASの開口部の内部に、透明基板COVを挿入した例を示している。ここで、透明基板COV、接着剤AD、偏光板POL2などの材質として屈折率がほぼ等しい材質を用いれば、表面反射を抑制できるので、視認性が低下するのを抑制できる。特に、ガラスとアクリル樹脂は屈折率がほぼ等しいため、これらの材料を採用することが望ましい。ただし、この組合せに限定されず、2つの材料の間の屈折率差が0.1以下である材料を用いても良い。もちろん、表面反射が許容できる範囲内であれば、屈折率差が0.1以上の材料を用いることを妨げるものではない。 A transparent substrate (protective cover) COV such as glass or acrylic (PMMA) is attached to the display panel PNL via an adhesive AD. Although FIG. 1 shows an example in which the transparent substrate COV is attached to the polarizing plate POL2, it is not limited to this. The display panel PNL to which the transparent substrate COV is attached is arranged so as to overlap with the opening provided in the housing CAS. FIG. 1 shows an example in which a transparent substrate COV is inserted into the opening of the housing CAS. Here, if a material having substantially the same refractive index is used as the material of the transparent substrate COV, the adhesive AD, the polarizing plate POL2, and the like, surface reflection can be suppressed, so that a reduction in visibility can be suppressed. In particular, since glass and acrylic resin have substantially the same refractive index, it is desirable to employ these materials. However, the present invention is not limited to this combination, and a material having a refractive index difference between two materials of 0.1 or less may be used. Of course, as long as surface reflection is within an allowable range, it does not preclude the use of a material having a refractive index difference of 0.1 or more.
表示パネルPNLと筐体CASとの間には、スペーサSPCを配置している。スペーサSPCに粘着性や接着性を持たせれば、固定が可能になる。また、スペーサSPCに弾性を有する材料を用いても良い。さらに、スペーサSPCを例えばシリコンゴムなどの防水性の材料で枠状に形成すれば、筐体CASの開口部から水などが侵入するのを防止することができる。 A spacer SPC is disposed between the display panel PNL and the casing CAS. If the spacer SPC has adhesiveness or adhesiveness, it can be fixed. Further, an elastic material may be used for the spacer SPC. Furthermore, if the spacer SPC is formed in a frame shape with a waterproof material such as silicon rubber, water or the like can be prevented from entering from the opening of the housing CAS.
図2は、本発明の実施例1の表示装置の製造方法の一例を説明する斜視図である。まず、図2(a)に示すように、透明基板COVに、接着剤ADを塗布する。このとき、後述するように、接着剤ADを所定のパターンで塗布することが望ましい。また、透明基板COVの周辺部を除いて接着剤ADを塗布すれば、接着剤ADが透明基板COVの外にあふれてこぼれるのを防止できるので望ましい。そして、この状態でしばらく放置すると、接着剤が広がって、気泡の大きさが小さくなる。 FIG. 2 is a perspective view for explaining an example of the manufacturing method of the display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. First, as shown in FIG. 2A, an adhesive AD is applied to the transparent substrate COV. At this time, as described later, it is desirable to apply the adhesive AD in a predetermined pattern. Further, it is desirable to apply the adhesive AD excluding the peripheral portion of the transparent substrate COV because the adhesive AD can be prevented from overflowing and spilling out of the transparent substrate COV. If left in this state for a while, the adhesive spreads and the size of the bubbles decreases.
次に、図2(b)に示すように、必要に応じて透明基板COVを裏返す。そして、大気圧よりも低い減圧雰囲気下、例えば、真空度が1〜50Torr、望ましくは5〜10Torrで、表示パネルPNLと透明基板COVとを、接着剤ADを介して貼り合わせる。このとき、接着剤ADの粘度が硬化前の状態で2000〜5000mPa・sのものを用いることで、塗布工程で塗布された接着剤ADが広がって、気泡の大きさが最大で1mm以下、より好ましくは0.5mm以下になった状態になる。この状態で貼り合わせを行うと、貼り合わせ後に真空気泡が拡散し、目立たなくなる。これによって、気泡の残留を抑制できる。 Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, the transparent substrate COV is turned over as necessary. Then, the display panel PNL and the transparent substrate COV are bonded to each other through the adhesive AD under a reduced-pressure atmosphere lower than atmospheric pressure, for example, with a degree of vacuum of 1 to 50 Torr, preferably 5 to 10 Torr. At this time, by using the adhesive AD having a viscosity of 2000 to 5000 mPa · s in a state before curing, the adhesive AD applied in the coating process spreads, and the bubble size is 1 mm or less at maximum. Preferably, it becomes a state of 0.5 mm or less. When bonding is performed in this state, vacuum bubbles diffuse after bonding and become inconspicuous. Thereby, the remaining of bubbles can be suppressed.
尚、接着剤ADの粘度が2000mPa・sよりも低すぎると、塗布した接着剤ADが透明基板COVの外にあふれてこぼれてしまう。あるいは、透明基板COVを裏返した時に垂れ落ちてしまう。また、接着剤ADの粘度が5000mPa・sよりも高すぎると、接着剤ADが広がりにくくなり、気泡が残留しやすくなる。 If the viscosity of the adhesive AD is lower than 2000 mPa · s, the applied adhesive AD overflows and spills out of the transparent substrate COV. Or, when the transparent substrate COV is turned over, it drips down. On the other hand, if the viscosity of the adhesive AD is higher than 5000 mPa · s, the adhesive AD is difficult to spread and air bubbles are likely to remain.
また、接着剤ADを塗布する場合は、ディスペンサを用いる場合は、粘度が2000〜3000mPa・sであることが望ましい。スクリーン印刷を用いる場合は、粘度が3000〜5000mPa・sであることが望ましい。インクジェットを用いる場合は、粘度が2000〜5000mPa・sであることが望ましい。 Moreover, when apply | coating adhesive agent AD, when using a dispenser, it is desirable that a viscosity is 2000-3000 mPa * s. When screen printing is used, the viscosity is desirably 3000 to 5000 mPa · s. When using an inkjet, it is desirable that a viscosity is 2000-5000 mPa * s.
そして、接着剤ADは、アクリル樹脂またはエポキシ樹脂を含むことが望ましいが、例えばシリコン樹脂など、他の材料のものを用いることも可能である。また、例えばエポキシアクリレートのような混合材料でも良い。 The adhesive AD desirably includes an acrylic resin or an epoxy resin, but other materials such as a silicon resin can also be used. Further, a mixed material such as epoxy acrylate may be used.
尚、減圧雰囲気下にするタイミングは、接着剤ADの塗布前が望ましいが、これに限られず、少なくとも貼り合わせの時点で減圧雰囲気下にすればよい。 Note that the timing of the reduced pressure atmosphere is preferably before the application of the adhesive AD, but is not limited to this, and the reduced pressure atmosphere may be set at least at the time of bonding.
次に、図2(c)に示すように、貼り合わせを行った状態で、UV照射(紫外線照射)UVを行うことにより、紫外線硬化型の接着剤ADを硬化させる。紫外線硬化型の接着剤ADを用いているため、熱工程によって表示パネルPNLの耐熱温度を気にすることなく硬化が可能である。必要に応じて、UV照射の前に、気泡の検査を行い、気泡が消えるまでしばらく放置する。尚、貼り合わせた状態では、接着剤ADの粘度や塗布量に応じて、図2(c)に示すように、透明基板COVの端部まで接着剤ADを広げることもできる。 Next, as shown in FIG. 2C, the UV curable adhesive AD is cured by performing UV irradiation (ultraviolet irradiation) UV in a state where the bonding is performed. Since the ultraviolet curable adhesive AD is used, the display panel PNL can be cured without worrying about the heat-resistant temperature of the display panel PNL. If necessary, check the bubbles before UV irradiation and leave for a while until the bubbles disappear. In the bonded state, the adhesive AD can be spread to the end of the transparent substrate COV as shown in FIG. 2C according to the viscosity and the coating amount of the adhesive AD.
ここで、接着剤ADは、硬化前の粘度があまり高くないため、貼り合わせ工程および硬化工程において、表示パネルPNLと透明基板COVとを貼り合わせた状態で、硬化が終わるまで、表示パネルPNLと透明基板COVのそれぞれを図示しない治具で位置決め固定することが望ましい。 Here, since the viscosity of the adhesive AD before curing is not so high, the display panel PNL and the display panel PNL are bonded to each other in the bonding process and the curing process until the display panel PNL and the transparent substrate COV are bonded. It is desirable to position and fix each of the transparent substrates COV with a jig (not shown).
尚、硬化後の接着剤ADの弾性率は、室温(25℃)において、1,000〜100,000Paであることが望ましい。これによって、熱膨張率が異なる材料同士を貼り合わせた場合でも、接着剤ADによって応力を緩和できる。尚、硬化後の接着剤ADの弾性率は、熱機械分析(TMA:Thermo Mechanical Analysis)で測定が可能である。 It should be noted that the elastic modulus of the adhesive AD after curing is desirably 1,000 to 100,000 Pa at room temperature (25 ° C.). As a result, even when materials having different coefficients of thermal expansion are bonded together, the stress can be relaxed by the adhesive AD. The elastic modulus of the adhesive AD after curing can be measured by thermomechanical analysis (TMA: Thermo Mechanical Analysis).
次に、接着剤ADを塗布するパターンの例を説明する。図3は、接着剤を塗布するパターンの一例を説明する平面図である。図4は、図3のパターンで塗布した接着剤が広がった後の様子を説明する平面図である。図3では、接着剤ADを格子状のパターンに塗布した例を示した。ここで、接着剤ADのピッチP1は、0.5mm以上、1.5mm以下であることが望ましい。接着剤ADの幅W1は、0.2mm以上、1mm以下であることが望ましい。この段階では、気泡の大きさd1が1mmを超えていても良い。しばらくすると、図4に示すように、接着剤ADが広がって、幅W2>W1になる。尚、ピッチP2はピッチP1に等しい。気泡の大きさd2は、塗布直後の気泡の大きさd1よりも小さくなる。 Next, an example of a pattern for applying the adhesive AD will be described. FIG. 3 is a plan view for explaining an example of a pattern for applying an adhesive. FIG. 4 is a plan view for explaining a state after the adhesive applied in the pattern of FIG. 3 spreads. FIG. 3 shows an example in which the adhesive AD is applied to a lattice pattern. Here, the pitch P1 of the adhesive AD is desirably 0.5 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less. The width W1 of the adhesive AD is desirably 0.2 mm or more and 1 mm or less. At this stage, the bubble size d1 may exceed 1 mm. After a while, as shown in FIG. 4, the adhesive AD spreads and the width W2> W1. The pitch P2 is equal to the pitch P1. The bubble size d2 is smaller than the bubble size d1 immediately after application.
ここで重要なのは、接着剤ADを一様に平坦に塗布するのではなく、あえて小さな気泡が残るようなパターンにしている点である。さらに、それぞれの気泡が分断されているので、それぞれの気泡の大きさd2が小さいことである。接着剤ADが一様に平坦化されている場合や、塗布されていない領域(気泡)が大きい場合は、大きな気泡を巻き込む可能性があるが、あえて分断された小さな気泡を残したまま貼り合わせることで、貼り合わせ時に大きな気泡を巻き込む可能性を低減できる。したがって、貼り合わせた後でも、真空気泡の大きさを、真空気泡が拡散して目立たなくできる程度(例えば、気泡の大きさの最大値が1mm以下、望ましくは0.5mm以下)の気泡に抑えることができる。貼り合わせ後に残った真空気泡は、接着剤ADの硬化を終えるまでに拡散して目立たなくなる。 What is important here is that the adhesive AD is not applied uniformly and flatly, but a pattern in which small bubbles remain is intentionally left. Furthermore, since each bubble is divided, the size d2 of each bubble is small. If the adhesive AD is flattened uniformly or if the area (bubbles) that are not applied is large, there is a possibility of entrapment of large bubbles, but they are pasted together leaving small divided bubbles. Thus, the possibility of entraining large bubbles at the time of bonding can be reduced. Therefore, even after bonding, the size of the vacuum bubbles is suppressed to such a level that the vacuum bubbles can be made inconspicuous by diffusion (for example, the maximum value of the bubble size is 1 mm or less, preferably 0.5 mm or less). be able to. The vacuum bubbles remaining after the bonding are diffused and become inconspicuous until the curing of the adhesive AD is finished.
図5は、接着剤を塗布するパターンの他の例を説明する平面図である。図6は、図5のパターンで塗布した接着剤が広がった後の様子を説明する平面図である。図5では、ピッチP1で、幅(直径)W1のドットパターンで接着剤ADを塗布した例を示した。この場合、それぞれのドットがつながっていないので、接着剤ADのない部分の大きさは、非常に大きく、大きさd1になっている。これらのドットが広がると、幅W2>W1となり、図6のように互いにつながるので、それぞれの気泡が大きさd2に分断され、小さくなる。 FIG. 5 is a plan view for explaining another example of a pattern for applying an adhesive. FIG. 6 is a plan view for explaining the state after the adhesive applied in the pattern of FIG. 5 spreads. FIG. 5 shows an example in which the adhesive AD is applied with a dot pattern having a width (diameter) W1 at a pitch P1. In this case, since the dots are not connected, the size of the portion without the adhesive AD is very large and has a size d1. When these dots spread, the width W2> W1 is established, and they are connected to each other as shown in FIG. 6, so that each bubble is divided into the size d2 and becomes smaller.
尚、本発明は、図3〜図6で説明したパターンに限られず、他のパターンに接着剤ADを塗布しても良い。また、実施例1では、透明基板COV側に接着剤ADを塗布する例を説明してきたが、これに限られず、表示パネルPNL側に接着剤ADを塗布してもよい。 In addition, this invention is not restricted to the pattern demonstrated in FIGS. 3-6, You may apply | coat adhesive agent AD to another pattern. In the first embodiment, the example in which the adhesive AD is applied to the transparent substrate COV side has been described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the adhesive AD may be applied to the display panel PNL side.
図7は、本発明の実施例2の表示装置の製造方法の一例を説明する側面図である。表示パネルPNLと透明基板COVとを貼り合わせる際に、図7に示したように、表示パネルPNLを、貼り合わせる面側に凸になるように曲げながら貼り合わせることにより、大きな気泡を巻き込む可能性を低減できる。この場合、基板SUB1の厚さt1と、基板SUB2の厚さt2との合計が、0.8mm以下、より好ましくは0.6mm以下であることが望ましい。下限については特に制限がないが、合計が0.1mm以上であることが望ましい。 FIG. 7 is a side view for explaining an example of the method for manufacturing the display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. When the display panel PNL and the transparent substrate COV are bonded together, as shown in FIG. 7, there is a possibility that large bubbles may be entrained by bonding the display panel PNL while bending it so as to protrude toward the bonding surface. Can be reduced. In this case, the total of the thickness t1 of the substrate SUB1 and the thickness t2 of the substrate SUB2 is desirably 0.8 mm or less, more preferably 0.6 mm or less. Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular about a minimum, It is desirable that a sum total is 0.1 mm or more.
尚、図7では、表示パネルPNLを曲げている例を示しているが、これに限られず、透明基板COVの方を、あるいは、表示パネルPNLと透明基板COVとの両方を、貼り合わせる面側に凸になるように曲げながら貼り合わせても良い。 FIG. 7 shows an example in which the display panel PNL is bent. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The transparent substrate COV, or both the display panel PNL and the transparent substrate COV are bonded together. They may be bonded together while being bent so as to be convex.
図8は、本発明の実施例3の表示装置の一例を説明する断面図である。実施例1の図1と異なる点は、接着剤ADが偏光板POL2の端部まで延在している点である。例えば、接着剤ADの粘度や、塗布パターンや、塗布量を調整することで、貼り合わせたときに透明基板COVの端部よりも外側まで接着剤ADを広げることができる。あるいは、表示パネルPNL側に接着剤ADを塗布することでも実現可能である。 FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a display device according to Example 3 of the present invention. The difference from FIG. 1 of Example 1 is that the adhesive AD extends to the end of the polarizing plate POL2. For example, by adjusting the viscosity, the coating pattern, and the coating amount of the adhesive AD, the adhesive AD can be spread to the outside of the end portion of the transparent substrate COV when bonded. Alternatively, it can be realized by applying the adhesive AD to the display panel PNL side.
図9は、本発明の実施例4の表示装置の一例を説明する断面図である。実施例3の図8と異なる点は、透明基板COVを、透明基板COV1と透明基板COV2とで構成している点である。透明基板COV1と透明基板COV2との間は、図示しない接着剤で接着されている。透明基板COV2は、透明基板COV1よりも外形が大きくなっている。透明基板COV2は、筐体CASの開口部よりも外形が大きくなっている。そして、透明基板COV2と筐体CASとの間にスペーサSPCが配置されている。透明基板COV1は、例えばガラスで構成でき、透明基板COV2は例えばアクリル(PMMA)で構成することができる。図9に示した透明基板COVの構成は、あくまで一例であり、これに限られず他の構成を用いても良い。 FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a display device according to Example 4 of the present invention. The difference from FIG. 8 of the third embodiment is that the transparent substrate COV is composed of a transparent substrate COV1 and a transparent substrate COV2. The transparent substrate COV1 and the transparent substrate COV2 are bonded with an adhesive (not shown). The outer shape of the transparent substrate COV2 is larger than that of the transparent substrate COV1. The transparent substrate COV2 has an outer shape larger than the opening of the housing CAS. A spacer SPC is disposed between the transparent substrate COV2 and the housing CAS. The transparent substrate COV1 can be made of, for example, glass, and the transparent substrate COV2 can be made of, for example, acrylic (PMMA). The configuration of the transparent substrate COV shown in FIG. 9 is merely an example, and is not limited to this, and other configurations may be used.
図10は、本発明の実施例5の表示装置の一例を説明する断面図である。実施例4の図9と異なる点は、透明基板COVの一部に、遮光部SHDを有する点である。例えば、表示パネルPNLの表示領域の周囲を囲むように枠状に遮光部SHDを形成する。 FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a display device according to Example 5 of the present invention. The difference from FIG. 9 of the fourth embodiment is that a light shielding portion SHD is provided in a part of the transparent substrate COV. For example, the light shielding portion SHD is formed in a frame shape so as to surround the periphery of the display area of the display panel PNL.
この場合、遮光部SHDと重なる領域では、紫外線の照射では十分に接着剤ADを硬化することができないので、熱と紫外線の両方を用いて接着剤ADを硬化することが望ましい。但し、この場合は、表示パネルPNLの耐熱温度を考慮して、50〜80℃、より好ましくは、55〜70℃の温度が望ましい。この程度の温度であれば、UV照射を行うランプとして出力の大きいもの(例えば150mW以上)を用いることで実現可能である。尚、接着剤ADを100%硬化させる必要はないので、熱アシストが行える程度の温度でよい。 In this case, in the region overlapping with the light shielding portion SHD, the adhesive AD cannot be sufficiently cured by irradiation with ultraviolet rays, so it is desirable to cure the adhesive AD using both heat and ultraviolet rays. However, in this case, considering the heat resistant temperature of the display panel PNL, a temperature of 50 to 80 ° C., more preferably 55 to 70 ° C. is desirable. This temperature can be realized by using a lamp with high output (for example, 150 mW or more) as a lamp for performing UV irradiation. In addition, since it is not necessary to cure 100% of the adhesive AD, it may be at a temperature at which heat assist can be performed.
実施例5で説明した熱アシストによる紫外線硬化は、透明基板COVに遮光部SHDが形成されていないものに適用することも可能である。 The ultraviolet curing by heat assist described in the fifth embodiment can be applied to the transparent substrate COV where the light shielding portion SHD is not formed.
実施例1〜6において、スペーサSPCに代えて、あるいは、スペーサSPCとともに、筐体CASと透明基板COVとの間の間隙を、図示しないシリコンゴムなどの防水性の材料で構成された第2のスペーサで全てふさいでも良い。これによって、防水が可能となる。また、スペーサSPCと第2のスペーサとを一体で構成しても良い。 In the first to sixth embodiments, instead of the spacer SPC or together with the spacer SPC, the gap between the casing CAS and the transparent substrate COV is a second material made of a waterproof material such as silicon rubber (not shown). All may be blocked with a spacer. Thereby, waterproofing becomes possible. Further, the spacer SPC and the second spacer may be integrally formed.
表示パネルPNLとしては、液晶表示パネルに限定されず、例えば有機EL表示パネルなどの他の形式の表示パネルに適用することも可能である。 The display panel PNL is not limited to a liquid crystal display panel, and can be applied to other types of display panels such as an organic EL display panel.
以上、本発明を実施例を用いて説明してきたが、これまでの各実施例で説明した構成はあくまで一例であり、本発明は、技術思想を逸脱しない範囲内で適宜変更が可能である。また、それぞれの実施例で説明した構成は、互いに矛盾しない限り、組み合わせて用いても良い。 The present invention has been described using the embodiments. However, the configurations described in the embodiments so far are only examples, and the present invention can be appropriately changed without departing from the technical idea.
